So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
I’m Susy from Susy Blue, the singer, songwriter, keyboardist, flautist and general person-who-organises-the-things.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Fun vintage genre hoppers bouncing from calypso to noveau-folk, ’60s pop, soul, old-world jazz, neo-klezmer and surf-rock.
What do you love about making music?
Playing music is magical. It’s also pretty exciting to have a song you wrote in your bedroom be on the radio or be brought to life on stage with your wonderful bandmates.
What do you hate about the music industry?
Self-promotion.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
I’m the type to get sorta star-struck, but I would love to meet Tori Amos ’cause I reckon she’d be lovely and it’s kinda time travelling ’cause I worshipped her in high school.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
It’s kinda unrelated but because I play the flute, the person who wrote the, “one time at band camp” line. I’m cool with the Ron Burgundy yazz flute references though.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Lots of eclectic instruments, from auto harp to casio organs, and fun, surprising and occasionally cheeky songs.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Why funny you should ask – our brand new album! It’s called Nobody’s Somebody, produced by Shane O’Mara and I’m pretty bloody excited to set it free.
When’s the gig and with who?
Sunday May 18 at The Toff in the arvo to appease the Nanna within you. I am exceptionally stoked to have The Twoks supporting.
Anything else to add?
